Layered Washi Tape Cards

DATE:  Sunday, February 2nd

TIME:  12:30 - 2:30

COST:  $25

Well here we are starting February already!  This could be the snow month, so keep your eyes peeled on the weather.  As always, if it snows on a class date, the class will automatically be pushed to the following Sunday.  

Have I got a great class for you!  I came across this washi tape by Aall and Create (you can purchase thru Scrapbook.com) and I just had to try it.  And as you can you imagine, I had to turn it into a class! I know you're as shocked as I am (NOT!).  There are many images to choose from and these just struck a chord with me (pssst! I also bought others but these are what you'll be using).

I have three lovely cards for you in no particular order (do you think the Milleniums know what this image  is on the first card???)...

Love how this next one went together...

And how about a circle card?...

As mentioned in the newsletter, you'll only need two ink colors and applicators and your Craft-Dee BowZ tool.  There are still a few openings in the class -- you know the drill to reserve your spot.

Pray for no snow and I'll see you all on 2/2!

VALENTINES CARDS

DATE:  Sunday, January 19th

TIME:  12:30 - 2:30

COST:  $25

Rolling right along this month!  I get a feeling that 2025 is going to fly on falcon wings!  So we will get a jump on Valentines Day cards with this class.  I've kept our first two classes fairly basic but things will start to ramp up in complexity as we go along. 

I've got class projects all set thru the end of April and I just thought of a great project for May!  There are days when I'd like to shut my brain down, but that would be counter-productive now, wouldn't it?  So here are our simple Valentine cards in no particular order.  You'll notice I opted to stray from red and pink and go into the purples for a change.

Here's one with some glitter paper and fancy letter dies...

And here's one all tied up with a bow...

And here's the purple/lavender one using heart punches in a different way...

Don't forget to check the newsletter for "what to bring to class".  As mentioned in the newsletter, there are still some openings left, so email, text, carrier pigeon, call... to reserve your spot!

See you soon!

Another Fun Fold

DATE:  Sunday, January 5th

TIME:  12:30 - 2:30

COST: $25

Well Happy New Year to all!  I'm sure it's been a whirlwind for all of you and I, for one, am happy it's over and done with.  So much prep, so much cooking, so much eating...!  

I am looking forward to a fun 2025 with you ladies and have been happily creating classes for you.  I've gotten my Mojo back and sat down one day and completed classes thru mid-April.  Wowza!

Our first class of the new year will be a very simple one. These cards will have a fun fold, but the bonus will be that they will give you an idea how to use up those preciously hoarded designer papers!  We do love our lovely papers, but I know with me, I almost hate to use them because they are so pretty!  Crazy, I know!

So here are the three cards we will be creating to start of 2025.  In no particular order...

Funny, I just realized I used polka dots in all three!  All you need is your regular class kit for these cards.  I still have a few openings, so send me an email, text, phone call etc. and reserve your spot.

I am soooo looking forward to seeing you all.

Paper Ribbon Technique

 DATE:  Sunday, December 1st

TIME:  12:30 - 2:30

COST:  $25

Another year just flew by.  I'm having a hard time adjusting to the fact that Christmas is in just four weeks!  So let's get those last minute Christmas cards created and mailed.  

Our last class of '24 will feature another technique.  I love this easy, fun, different technique and I know you will too.  So in no particular order, the following are the project we will be creating...

Using Christmas themed designer paper, some sparkly stuff and an embossing folder, you'll put this card together in no time!

Again, some sparkly stuff and pretty designer paper completes this card.

This photo does not do this card justice color-wise.  It's really a coordination of lovely blues and sparkly stuff.  I guess you'll just have to come to class to see!

I look forward (with a little sadness too) to our last class of 2024.  We will resume the creativity Sundays in January, so don't despair.

I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving and we'll see you soon.

Polar Bear Christmas

 DATE:  SUNDAY, November 19th

TIME:  12:30 - 2:30 (or so)

COST:  $25

Here we are in mid-November - would someone PLEASE slow the world down!  Pretty soon we'll be in the clutches of holidays, parties, cooking, etc.  And the days go by so quickly!

To help you with your Christmas card projects, our last two classes will include a total of six more cards that you can add to your list.  This class involves more whimsical cards using polar bears.  We'll be using wobbles, sliders, and wet and dry embossing for this class.  No special supplies needed other than Copics or markers to color the hats and scarves for the polar bears.

So, in no particular order, here are this class' projects:

I think you'll enjoy this class using several techniques - nothing you haven't done before and easy, peasy!  There are still a few openings in this class, so contact me by Wednesday, 11/13 the latest, to reserve your spot.  I have a really crazy week coming up and a ton of die cutting for this class so early sign-up is important.  Thanks for understanding.

See you soon!

 

Christmas Cards you won't forget!

DATE:  Sunday, 10/3

TIME:  12:30 - 2:30

COST:  $25

I'm late again!  I seem to be on a never ending roller coaster these days and am trying to catch up on things.  I have a great class planned for you for Christmas cards.  

These two cards use lots of card stock and a little measuring, but do not be afraid!  I will try and list the dimensions for these cards, but again, time constraints may prohibit this.

Our first card involves lots of layers and a wee bit of measuring.  Here's the top view...

And here's the front view...

Our second card, again involves lots of card stock as well.  Here's the top view...

And front view...

There are openings in this class but I MUST hear from you by Wednesday, 10/30, to reserve your spot.

Hope to see you soon!

Fall Cards

DATE:  Sunday, 10/20

TIME:  12:30 - 2:30

COST:  $25

I have whiplash from how fast October is speeding by!  Please, someone slow the world down!  And while our world is whirling about, we will be prepping for the Fall season.

We'll be doing cards featuring lots of pumpkins.  I've also devised a "pumpkin" using circles and ovals from some non-traditional papers that I think you'll really like.  The way you ladies are whizzing thru these classes is remarkable so I've decided to add two more cards to this class.  They are both CAS which is something we don't do too often.  Sometimes holding back from adding too much, can be difficult.  But a clean and simple card is always very restful looking.  I hope I've accomplished that with these two cards.

So, the cards we will be doing are as follows:

First up is a cart full of pumpkins.

Next up is a single pumpkin but with a busy pumpkin background.

And our third card is the non-traditional one using circles and ovals to form a pumpkin shape.  I had so much fun creating this - maybe because black and white is so out of the box for Fall colors...

Now I'm keeping back the photos of the CAS cards -- you'll just have to come to class to create them.  But I don't think you'll be disappointed when you see them.

There are still a few openings in this class due to Bobbie returning to CA for the winter and Barbara who's out with a bad "wing" (she just had surgery on her shoulder).  So you know the drill - call, text, email, etc. to reserve a spot.  Be kind and let me know sooner rather than later so that I can prep early in the week.

See you all soon!
